<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a marker for detecting triple negative breast cancer; to provide a method for detecting or diagnosing the triple negative breast cancer with the marker; and to provide a kit for detecting or diagnosing the triple negative breast cancer. <P>SOLUTION: MMP7 gene which is low in expression level in Luminal A, Luminal B and HER2 diseases among the sub-types of breast cancer, and rises the expression level in the triple negative breast cancer on the other hand, and a polypeptide encoded by the gene are used as markers for detecting the triple negative breast cancer. A probe for detecting the triple negative breast cancer marker gene and an antibody for the polypeptide encoded by the gene are used. Thus, the marker for detecting the triple negative breast cancer can be detected, and the triple negative breast cancer can quickly and surely be detected or diagnosed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
